I have to come clean... I am a bit of a junkie.. there, I said it. I have a problem. I can sit and flip threw magazines and blogs ALL DAY LONG! I constantly have piles of magazines around the house that drive Kyle crazy, and no not because he has none himself but because I have stacks and stacks that I am reluctant to through away. Vogue February 2004 issue, yep got it, InStyle June 2006, check. Surfer, Shape, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Allure, Adventure, INC, Traveler, to name a few... I love magazines.
I can flip and re-flip constantly. What is the vein of my problem? I find various types of inspiration in all of them. I am drawn to images that make me look twice and then ask myself why do I love this image, and how can I incorporate it into what I do? It can be a fashion shoot from Vogue, an ad in Glamour, to the perfect Island shot from Tahiti in Surfer. I just find it all so inspiring! It transports me to that, "Wow I wish I was there," type of feeling.
That why I love photography... it allows me the ability to create those, "I wish I was there feelings," and my all time favorite... "Wow they look like they are so in love," types of images!!!
Here is a look at some of our current favorite inspirations. We have a ever growing pile but currently these are my favorites. They all make me look twice, look longer, and make me want to go out and be a better photographer..
